  • AUD/JPY is trading in an extremely narrow range struggles to break above 89 handle.
     
  • Aussie buoyed by upbeat China Q4 GDP data. China Q4 GDP y/y stayed flat at 6.8 % beating forecast at 6.7 %.
     
  • AUD/JPY hit session highs at 89.01, but failed to extend gains. The pair is currently trading at 88.85 level.
     
  • We see an inverted 'Head and Shoulders' pattern formed on the daily charts.
     
  • Major resistance lies at 89.09 (double top), AUD/JPY pivotal around 78.6% Fib.
     
  • Breakout at 89.10 levels to see test of 88.6% Fib at 89.62 ahead of 90.30 (Sept 21 high).
